I realize that I'm probably jumping into the middle of something
here, but I just want to throw in my 2 cents.
I also find the logic counter intuitive. The main reason here is that
on my remote control, my arrow keys (left, right, up and down) are
also my channel up/down and volume up/ down buttons. Channel changes
with up / down arrows and volume with left / right.
They buttons are also clearly marked with a plus (+) sign on the "up"
arrow, because this means "increment channel by 1".
Now, I understand the logic that Isaac stated about a text editor,
however EVERY time my father in law comes over to my house (who has
his own commercial pvr) he presses the up arrow to jump ahead (when
viewing a recording) thinking that a key with a "plus" symbol on it
MUST go forward in time, just like a dvd player would.
However, forget my remote control for the time being and lets focus
on just the standard pc keyboard. My problem, which is probably the
same as what X.S is talking about is that regardless of what I bind
JUMPRWND & JUMPFFWD to (currently F6 & F7), pressing "up" on my
keyboard has the same effect as my JUMPRWND button. This is what I
consider to be the true bug. Regardless of what I map JUMPRWND to,
there is no way (that I know of) to prevent the "up" arrow on the
keyboard from having the same effect. (Truthfully, I didn't test if
the problem is that the JUMPRWND event always happens when the up
arrow is pressed or if it always happens when the "CHANNELUP" button
is pressed. Either way, I consider it to be a bug.)

Then, of course, you didn't understand the reasoning =).
Nope.
Agreed.
I'm talking about whether it is counter-intuitive to most people.
Maybe we should have a vote.
No.
Though most remotes have seeking keys, they are usually not as big,
and not as convenient to push, as the navigation keys, which is
what
we're talking about here.
We're not talking about the navigation keys, we're talking about
the channel
up/down keys. 'UP' has no seek action bound to it in this
context, only
'CHANNELUP'.
The Jump keys are "JUMPFFWD" and "JUMPRWND". When I initially added
the jump keys (back before there were keybindings), I copied mplayer,
I think, and had PgUp forward and PgDn reverse. The other half of the
world complained and it was changed to the text logic. The grass is
always greener... I'm content with the current default and anyone who
wants to change their bindings is welcome to do so.
I don't know about your system. On mine, CHANNELUP is bound to
UP. And I don't know how the seeking functions are bounded,
because it's
not in the setting. But if it is bounded to CHANNELUP and
CHANNELDOWN, then I guess we users can do nothing.
It isn't.
